Researchers vote. Les chercheur.e.s votent.(2) 2025 election mobilisation
by Tabrez Siddiqui 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Dear Colleagues, CAN Advocacy is collaborating with our partners to send a clear message to all candidates in the upcoming elections: research matters and should be a top priority for the next government. This initiative complements the efforts of Evidence for Democracy (E4D) and Research Canada. This effort is to ensure that the voices of researchers are heard. To be heard, the research community needs to make some noise. In the coming weeks, we will organize a national workshop in partnership with E4D. We invite you to join us in this important conversation. For today's event, please register via Eventbrite (a Zoom link will be provided to all registered participants): https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/researchers-vote-les-chercheures-votent2-2025-e… Sincerely, Tabrez J.

MNN Winnipeg Brain Bee Event Volunteers for Judges and Workshop Leaders
by Protiti Khan 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all doing well. On Saturday, March 8th, 2025 we will be hosting our annual Winnipeg Brain Bee and I would like to ask if you would be willing to serve as judges, workshop leaders, or both as you have in previous years. We currently have about 40 students signed up, and I am still waiting to hear from one of the schools, so the numbers could be somewhat higher, which means that we will definitely need a full complement of volunteers. The event will be on the Bannatyne campus; in the Apotex Building. The format will be identical to last year. Competition will take place first; with judges (one PI and 1 student per room of ~ 8-12 students). Then there will be a lunch over a guest lecture. Then workshops taking place from 1-2:30– pending on volunteer labs leading them. The judges will be required in the morning from 9:30-11:30 am. The workshops will take place from 1-2:30 pm, so we request the workshop leaders to be available from 12:30- 2:30. Volunteers helping in all other capacity will be required to be there from 9:00-3:00pm. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in participating this year and in what role(s) – volunteer (any assigned task), workshop leader or judge. All volunteers will receive of co-curricular recognition for their work. If you would like to do something new in your workshop this year, go for it! Thank you very much for your help with this important MNN event that cannot happen without volunteers like you.
